General Standards
Minimum password length 8 characters
Passwords must contain characters from three of the following five categories:
  • Uppercase characters of European languages (A through Z, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
  • Lowercase characters of European languages (a through z, sharp s, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
  • Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
  • Non-alphanumeric characters: ~!@#$%^&*_-+=`|\(){}[]:;"'<>,.?/
A passphrase is suggested to provide for a higher level of security. A passphrase is a sequence of words or text used instead of a password. It may be easier for you to remember but harder for hackers to crack. A password dictionary is utilized to enforce strong passwords and block any change requests that matches a password on the banned password list.
